I was just looking on youtube this afternoon and I happen to come across this video showing you how to clean your oil cooler using a high pressure washer at the car wash. Very interesting video, and I was wondering if anyone had done anyting like this before and what were your delta's after the flush.

Just flushing with tap water alone will cause rust on bare metal in a few hours, so i wouldn't advise doing this unless you can flush it properly with distilled and immediately refill it with ELC coolant.

Hmm... I've got a flush/ELC change in the future, and I've got a pressure washer. Maybe after my Restore and Restore + circulation, I'll try this before flushing with distilled.

Do you think pouring a big pot of boiling water into the top of the oil cooler would be effective and dissolving or breaking some of that junk up? Boiled water -> power wash -> distilled flush -> new coolant = not having to replace the oil cooler?

He is just back flushing. I did this just not with a pressure sprayer. I might have done it had I had it. The regular back flush did drop my oil temp 10*. The tap water wont hurt the system as long as a complete distilled water flush is done afterwards.

So was you able to get a lot of crap out with the back flush? I sounds to me like it should work and help.
